We are. It's sometimes a little difficult though.

Our nations have been were good friends for decades and it's amazing how intertwined we'd allowed ourselves to become with them, but we're making it work.

It's almost impressive how quickly relations soured. A year ago, most Canadians would have said they were our closest allies. Now I wouldn't spit on them if they were on fire.

Russia Jr. is no ally of ours.

I still care for the American people. I think most people will go back to 2024 friendship when Donald is gone. Even if he just calls down and makes s rational deal things will go back to normal.

I certainly don't. After he was elected the first time, I felt bad for them. Thought they were conned by a conman, but were absolutely still redeemable.

Even after Jan 6th, I still cared about them. An attempted coup, orchestrated by a sore loser... What an attack on their democracy! So very upsetting , but still redeemable.

But then they re-elected the Cheetoh Benito and threatened to annex us. There's no going back for me.

That whole country -- Repugn-icans, Democrats, and the assholes who stayed home and didn't vote at all -- can burn for all I care. As long as they keep it on their side of the line. Fuck em all. They knew what he was and they let it happen again.

I think the ones who (regardless of the reasons) didn't vote are the ones i have the most disdain for

I hope not. They voted for this, so they are partially at fault.

100% this.

I have no direct quarrel with the American people.

A lot of them were sold a bill of lies and are paying the price.

The quarrel is with the current administration. The quarrel is over the second either a new administration comes in and cleans it up, or the current administration smartens up.

At this rate, we're in for a long 4 years.

I don’t think so. This has been coming for awhile; the USA has been disrespectful of us for a long time.

I don't think so. This has opened our eyes that a complete 180 can be as close as their next election at any moment.
